This exhibition showcased the work of Czech artist Jiří Kolář who worked across different media. He was a poet, writer, and translator who expanded the boundaries of modern art by deconstructing the printed image and word. In reassembling and constructing images in collage, he created often absurd commentaries on modern life and the turmoil he faced as a political dissident in Communist Czechoslovakia.

2023 marked the centenary of Cyril Fox's celebrated book The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region which was based on his Magdalene and Cambridge PhD of 1922. This seminal work introduced several innovations within archaeology, including the landscape perspective which has become a standard means of thinking and presenting the past in archaeology. In 1932 Fox wrote another important work called The Personality of Britain. Together these volumes emphasize the enduring relationship between archaeology, geography, landscape and environment.

The exhibition drew on these two volumes, alongside other materials, to look at two themes, Fox’s personality and the legacy of his research, both focused on his short, but important, Cambridge experience.

Distributed finances to the College clubs and societies. Originally covered the finances of the College Boat, Cricket, Athletics, Rugby Union and Association Football, Hockey, and Lawn Tennis Clubs. Later the College Magazine and Reading Room were also included.
The Committee consisted of a Permanent Treasurer, an Honorary Secretary, with Assistant Secretary if necessary, and the Captain and Secretaries of the various clubs.

The Kingsley Club was founded as a literary club under the patronage of A.C. Benson in 1906. It was named after Charles Kingsley the novelist who had been an undergraduate at Magdalene from 1838-1842. It's declared object was 'the reading and discussion of papers dealing with literary, artistic and kindred subjects'. The club lapsed with the outbreak of the First World War and was re-established by Francis Turner in 1925. It foundered again with the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and was revived again by Turner in 1948 and enjoyed a more or less unbroken existence until Lent Term 1991. Membership was restricted and was by invitation. It was seen as 'the premier gathering of student intellectuals'.

Initially Minute Books listed the names of those present at meetings and the title of the paper given but soon became more of a summary of the paper and subsequent discussion. Amongst the Secretaries were George Mallory, Sir Michael Redgrave, and John Simpson.

In existence between 1919 and 1925.

This club was founded in 1862 although there were packs kept in Cambridge before this date which were the fore runners of the club.

In 1862 R. G. Hoare (Trinity College) brought his private pack of beagles to Cambridge and in 1867 W. E. Currey (Trinity College, Tutor) brought his beagles over from his home in Ireland. These two packs established beagling firmly in Cambridge.

According to The Trinity Foot Beagles 1862 – 1912 by F. Claude Kempson published in 1912 the Trinity Foot Beagles were a subscription pack managed by undergraduates and hunted in the countryside around Cambridge. There was no formal constitution, no committee, nor any meeting of the subscribers, nor a balance-sheet, nor any positive connection with Trinity College, although traditionally there are strong links with both Trinity and Magdalene Colleges. Any member of the University was welcome to join in as long as he paid a subscription.

Kempson credits William Edward Currey (Trinity College) as being the founder and Rowland Hunt (Magdalene College) as being co-founder.
